CBS pulls 'Made in Jersey' from the schedule

We have a winner in the annual "first fall cancellation" sweepstakes. And it's not "Mob Doctor"!

In what rates as only a mild upset, CBS yanked legal drama "Made in Jersey" from its Friday schedule. Reruns of other series will replace it until Nov. 2, when "Undercover Boss" will take over the time slot.

"Made in New Jersey" started slowly in the ratings and got worse, and the critics dismissed it as well, leaving little chance of a comeback. Perhaps the problem was in casting Britsh actress Janet Montgomery as a native New Jerseyite. Or perhaps the whole concept of "The Good Wife" meets "Jersey Shore" was doomed from the outset. Given that we've enjoyed Miss Montgomery in other works, such as "Entourage" and "Human Target," we're betting on the latter.

CBS has not yet decided what to do with the unaired episodes. Don't be surprised to see them turn up on a Saturday night or at some point in the late December down time.
